I am moving to Helsinki with my family from a EU country for an 11 month work contract, staying at least a year. We need to do the 'registration of an EU citizen’s right of residence' I think; does this give the same rights to and subsidies for daycare (municipal or private) or do we also need a 'municipality of residence' for this, which seems to require 'permanent' residence and a contract of at least 2 years? We will be paying tax in Finland so it seems odd if we have no right to any of these benefits and the pre-school education seems terribly expensive (we have experience in 2 EU countries where pre-school is almost free from a much younger age than 7!) thanks for any info.
